Now that the Catholic church allows cremation, I'm getting cremated (also because that is what my grandparents are having done, and they are my "role models" when it comes to religion).Since I'm getting cremated, so will my furbabies. All of my pets have been cremated (excluding fish, hamsters), therefore I will continue to do so. I wouldn't want to have a freeze-dried dead animal. I couldn't imagine looking at it and knowing it's dead, not able to run around and be happy. I think that would make it harder and harder each day, just looking at a body like that.
